My husband wants me to find myself a boy friend.


Dear Counselor Beezy,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to seek your guidance and advice on a matter that has been causing me great confusion and distress. I trust in your expertise and hope that you can provide me with some clarity.


I am a 30-year-old woman who has been married to a wonderful 43-year-old man for the past six years. Our marriage has been built on mutual love, respect, and understanding. When we got married, we both agreed to delay starting a family until I completed my first degree at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). I am now employed as a civil servant, and my husband is a successful businessman.


However, a significant challenge has arisen in our marriage. Shortly after I graduated, my husband unfortunately had an accident that resulted in erectile dysfunction. Despite our efforts, including seeking medical advice from doctors, traditional herbal dealers, and even spiritual guidance, his condition has not improved. This has naturally led to difficulties in our intimacy and has impacted our ability to conceive a child as well.


The pressure from both our families to start a family has been mounting, especially from my mother-in-law. She has been insinuating that I am responsible for our inability to have children and has even suggested that my husband should divorce me and find another wife. My husband, feeling helpless in the situation, has even proposed that I have a relationship with another man to conceive a child, which is something I am deeply uncomfortable with due to my personal values and commitment to our marriage.


Counselor Beezy, I find myself in a state of confusion and emotional turmoil. I am torn between my loyalty to my husband and the pressure from our families. I love my husband deeply and have never imagined being intimate with anyone else. At the same time, I am afraid of the strain this situation is putting on our relationship and our mental well-being.


I am reaching out to you for guidance on how to navigate this complex situation. I am seeking your advice on how to communicate effectively with my husband, how to handle the pressure from our families, and how to find a solution that aligns with our values and the love we share.


I am grateful for any insights and advice you can provide, Counselor Beezy. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and consider my concerns.

Thank you.

Forgiving your partner

  How to forgive your partner for their infidelity Introduction If you're in a relationship with someone who has cheated on you, there are many ways to forgive them. You can do it privately or publicly, but the most important thing is that you talk about it. It's also important to remember that forgiveness takes time and effort on both sides of the equation. This doesn't happen overnight! However, once both partners have made amends for their actions (and recognized them as such), then forgiveness becomes easier because there aren't any lingering resentments or underlying bad feelings between them anymore. Only love between two people who took action towards healing themselves after a betrayal occurred.  Stop justifying their behaviour. To forgive your partner, you must stop justifying their behaviour. This means that you need to stop making excuses for them and blaming yourself or your relationship for their actions. Here are some examples of what not to do: Don't ...

Alchemy of Life: Transforming Negativity into Positive Energy

"He who has the power to turn all negative vibes in his path into positive energy has learned the meaning of life." The statement's wisdom highlights the significant shift when someone can change negative energy into a good force. Let's investigate this viewpoint and see how it fits in with the theories of scholars who have studied the nuances of personal empowerment and the meaning of life. Turning Negativity into Positivity "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl. Transforming negativity is in line with the existential philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His focus on overcoming obstacles and deriving purpose from misfortune aligns with the notion that, in the face of negativity, one may modify one's inner reaction and transform one's life's course. The Art of Transformation "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." - Lao Tzu. The transformational force that co...

After having three children with me out of wedlock, He is getting married to another woman.

Dear Counselor Beezy, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your guidance and support to help me navigate a deeply painful and confusing chapter in my life. My story begins with a romantic relationship that I entered into with a businessman. We met through his friend, who happened to be engaged to my madam, a seamstress I was apprenticing with at the time. We all came from the same district in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which initially created a sense of familiarity and connection. Our relationship developed swiftly, and within two months, I found myself pregnant. He agreed to take responsibility for our child, and I moved in with him despite his uncompleted three-bedroom apartment. We managed together until I went into labour. We had discussed the idea of formally approaching my family for marriage, and he had agreed that we would have our traditional wedding during our child's naming ceremony. However, when the time came, th...
